PACIFIC RIM SYNOPSIS - When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes-a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)-who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse.

Ok, I was already highly pumped to see this because of three reasons: Del Toro, Charlie Hunnan and the Jaegers. Now, could some one PLEASE explain to me what the connection is to "Portal" that I've read about AND what's up with a certain monster that's supposedly making an "appearance"? Starts with a "G". I think. Totally clueless here.

So, conventional weapons won't work against the monsters. Biological weapons won't work. Nukes won't work. So we build large robots to punch them. And instead of remotely operating the robots, we put people inside them.
